DENVER, Oct. 1O.-A Trinidad special
to the Republican says: A brutal murder
occurred here early this morning over
which there is considerable excitement
and talk of lynching the guilty party.
James Redmond and Joe Mcnamara came
from the country yesterday ard began
drinking heavily. The spree kept up
until 2 O'Clock this morning, when both
were almost dead drunk and started for
their boarding house. contrary to the
desire of Redmond, who wanted to con
tinue the debauch. Ascending the stairs
of the hotel, they made so much noise
that the proprietor told them they must
be quiet OF leave the house.
Redmond grabbed McNamara's coat
collar and started down, pulling the latter
after him. When about half way down
Mcnamara pulled Redmond's head back
with his right hand and with the left
drew a razor across his throat, almost
severing the head. Redmond died in a
few minutes. The murderer was arr ested
and Jailed. When sober to-day he denied
all knowledge OF anything about the
crime

The B. & o, Opposition.

New York, Oct. 10.-The recent alb.
sorption of the Baltimore & Ohio Tele-
graph company by the Western. Union
makes a brief history of the former inter
esting. The Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph
company has had an independent exist
enc for nearly a decade. 1t was the out
growth of President CARROTS determined
and ever violent opposition to the Western
Union and his determination that the
Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph company
should never be operated in the interests
of that company.
The Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph COM
pany controlled the lines along Mr.. Gar
rett's road until the absorption of that
company by the Western Union, where
upon Mr.. Garrett promptly assumed con-
troll of the wires again in spite of the Wig
orous opposition of the Western Union,
which was determined at any cost to retain
Its place on the road, which it claimed
through the purchase of the Atlantic &
Pacific, and the legal contest which fol-
lowed confirmed Mr.. CARROTS ownership
of the lines.
Telegraph competition was made ever
more bitter in the following year when
Gould began building the American
Union telegraph line with its Independent
cables. The competition which he inaug-
urated was indeed Geographic COMPETE
ton, and such as the Baltimore x Ohio
has never furnished, and Gould had with
his lines connections which the Baltimore
& Ohio never had and a service that was
not only economical but efficient.
This competition brought the price of
Western Union from III down to nv, at
which figure Gould controlled it and was
in a position to force a consolidation of
the American Union and the Western
Union. "a measure which gave him hand
some profit upon his own property and
advanced Western Union, in which he
held a controlling interest at a low figure,
from IA in December to 1904 in January.
Since then Gould has been the controlling
interest in Western Union. The Wander
bilt party had retired under the pressure
of his rival company. and he and Sage
held an interest which. though not clearly
n majority of all the stock, was neverthe-
less so large that it was all powerful.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 1O.-The

much suppressed indignation, but her
words were very clear and distinct. The
matter has created a great sensation, and

Miss Abbott declared that the ministers
charges were ~untounded, and that her life
was as free from blame as hat of any
living woman. In all of the operas of
the past week to which the minister re-
terred, there was no impure or improper
thought. The great lights of the stage,
such as Jenny Lind, Modjeska, Albani,
and countless others, have been good
woman, model wives and mothers. She
defied any to say that aught had been said
against the fair fame of Emma Abbott.
There was considerable applause at the
conclusion of her remarks, and before it
subsidized Mr.. Chandler said he could not
answer the lady because she was a lady.
During the day, as the affair became
known, a great many ladies who had met

The president then spoke at some
length in praise of the city and state, and
concluded as follows:
My visit to you being a social one, and
trusting that we have a sort of friendly
feeling for each other. | want to suggest
to you a reason why | am particularly aud
personally interested in st. Paul and its
people. Some years ago a young girl
dwelt among you and went to school. She
has grown up to be a woman and is now
my wife. If any one thinks a president
ought not to mention things of this sort
in public, L hope he or she does not live
In st Paul. for L don't want to shock any

and when l tell them that they are related

be sure that her pleasant recollection of
school days will be reinforced by the no
less pleasant memory of our present visit,
and thus will our present interest in St.
Paul and its kind citizens be increased
and perpetual.
RWhen the speech making concluded
the party went to dinner in a private
room, after which they retired to their
apartments to prepare for the events of
the evening.

LACRoss, Wis. Oct. lO.-When the
president train reached here this after
noon a salute of twenty-one guns was fired.
A great throng of people awaited the ar
rival and loudly cheered the visitors as
they alighted. Meanwhile the steam
whistles of the saw mills and steamboats,
on the Mississippi screamed their loudest.
The station and the prominent buildings
of the city were tastefully decked with
bunting. During the twenty minutes the
train waited the party were escorted in
carriages through the principal thorough
fares by the governors guard. The en-
tire population and a great number from
a distance were on the streets.

ST. PAUL, Oct. lO.-The special train
St. Paul at half past five this evening.
The run from Madison was perhaps the
most enjoyable journey the party has ex-
perienced since their departure from
Washington. All had been thoroughly
rested and were in the best of health and
spirits, while the weather for the greater
part of the day was fine.
The region through which the train
passed is one OF the pleasantest sections
Of the Northwest. The people along the
line at the smaller stations were much
less demonstrative than those OF the re.
gions early IN the trip. They gathered
at many points in little groups and swung
their hats or handkerchiefs, and there
were a few attempts at decoration, but
the people seemed intent only on satisfy
ing their desire to see the president. AT
Lacrosse, where the train tarrled twenty
minutes, there was a little gem of a dem
onstration, which was highly praised by
the recipients. Though there we're 10, 600
people at the station with twice as many
more lining the streets of the town, the
utmost order prevailed throughout.
At other points where FIVE minute stops
were made, handshaking took place of a
more familiar character, yet with the dit
ference that the people iostled and
crowded, but laughed as they did so and
perfect good humor prevailed.
just north of Winona a throng OF work
men were gathered and one on horseback
rode up to the train to present Mrs. Cleve-
land with a handsome bouquet. Hereached
it out and thought it safe In her hand, but
unluckily it was not. and fell to the ground.
An athletic fellow from among the work
men leaped the ditch, picked up the
flowers and delivered them. He was re-
warded with a bright smile from Airs
Cleveland and enthusiastic cheers from his
fellow workmen.
The weather to-day has been bracing
and frosty. The crowd is unparalleled in
the city's history and conservative esti.
mates place the number OF strangers in
town at so, 1000. and pedestrianism is
attended with difficulty. A large crowd
gathered at the depot long before the
presidents train was due and waited
patiently. When the train pulled into
the depot the reception committee boarded
the presidents car, where they found the
president and Mrs. Cleveland waiting for
them. Escorted by the committee they
came out and proceeded down the plat

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 9.-The presi-

day, resting in preparation for the f~atigues
of another week of journeying. 1t was
expected that they would go to church in
the morning and the Villas pew in the Epis-
copal church was reserved for them, but the
heavy, threatening, sky and raw, chilly
winds, fresh laden with spray from the
lakes, the mud in the unpaved streets and
the clouds of falling leaves from every
tree-top were forbidding, while the CRATE
fires in the parlors were very tempting.

The Texas Investment Company, linn

and years in Texas are much longer
periods of time than are twelve months

how Louisiana lottery tickets were sold

after the drawing of that lottery

THE COUNTRY SAFE.

In the republic of the United States
we see many things which, for time,
rise threateningly and shadow the land
with ominious gloom, but they soon pass
away and leave our country brighter and
better. We have had many tests and
strains on our ship of state, but she has
weathered every storm and still sails
grandly on her glorious voyage. There
are those who delight in predicting the
worst-dark, grumbling pessimists evil
propncsying Cessandras, VINO are con
tinually telling US just when and how the
government Of the people will fall.
These Croakers had an absolute fulfill
ment of their dark predictions in the late
war. For q time they felt that they were
prophets who were honOTed in
their own land. They pointed with
pride to the shattered constitution ano
the dismemberment OF the Union and with
an exultant monotony repeated: 81 told
you So" Time has proven these people
false prophets. The country and the
Union is stronger and better to-day than
it ever has been. The war, with all its
horrors, served only to give the compact
vigor ard force Just as violent exercise
develops the muscles Of the body. Since
the war question has been settled other
questions and other predictions have
been heard. The tariff question, the
labor question, the monopoly question,
and, lastly, the gambling in the necessa-
ries of life' question, each in turn were
the little clouds no bigger than q mans
hand that were going to break in fury
over the unfortunate land, leaving de-
struction and political disintegration in
their wake. Some of these storms
have reached US, but they have
done no harm. In many instances
they have been hsrbingers of much good.
They created furry for q time, but
when this furry was spent the atmos-
phere was purer and clearer afterwards.
The devastation which was to have been
created ty stock speculations has had its
natural outcome. Fictitious prices doubt
less have been placed upon articles OF
consumption and other values, but it was
only for a time. The natural laws of
business finally triumphed and things
went back 10 their proper level 1t is
possib to create an abnormal demand
for certain article, but the attempt can
not be carried on for any considerable
time or it will fall to the ground, crushed
by the weight Of its own magnitude. It
is possible 20 create dlssatisfac-
ton, discontent and small
revolutionary movement, but the
natural laws of business on the one hand
and the irresistible power of the people
on the other brush aside these things SIS
the lion shakes dew from his name. The
fact of the matter is this: Our system of
government in the United States is greater
thar all artificial or fictitious circum-
stances. 1t is in keeping with the wishes
and wisdom of g lsrge majority OF the
people and they will always defend it
against attack from any source. Those
who believe in the failure of our govern
ment will find themselves like their pre-
decessors, mistaken and Inundated.
